Woodland Park Day Camp Volunteer Registration is now open!!!
Volunteer REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS Wednesday January 31st at 9:00pm.
Your Leadership Team is hard at work putting together an amazing program to fit this year's theme, "Game On".
We are excited to announce Woodland Park Day Camp 2024 is tentatively scheduled for July 8-12.
At the time of this letter, we currently do not know where camp will be. Seattle Parks and Recreation has changed their process of reserving camp space for all day camps using their properties. The new process of choosing camps has been changed to a lottery process, where applications were due January 1st, 2024. Woodland Park Day Camp has applied for two potential locations, Woodland Park and Carkeek Park. We anticipate hearing back from Seattle Parks and Recreation in early February. As soon as we know we will let you know. We understand this may cause some uncertainty about not having a location to hold camp, but we will keep you updated as the process evolves. We would still love to see you register to volunteer and sign up your kiddos for camp, but we will not be taking payment until camp dates and site is confirmed. Thank you for sticking with us and coming back year after year. Our day camp truly can’t happen without you.
Volunteers! We love 'em! We can't make camp happen without our fantastic volunteers, and we'd love to have your help. Volunteering at camp is a fun way to spend time with Girl Scouts. There are a wide variety of opportunities available, from unit leaders working directly with a group of campers, to station leaders working in places like the cook shelter or art station. There's something at camp for everyone! Additionally, our camp has preschool and (1st-6th grade) boy units, so siblings can come to camp on the days you volunteer. Most volunteers benefit from early camp registration and full time volunteers (4-5 days) get discounted camp rates! (see below)
We ask volunteers to commit to two or more days at camp, with a sincere request for four and five day volunteers. When spending multiple days at camp, our volunteers have the benefit of being able to connect with our campers, fully engage with their roles, experience camp in a broader sense, and form lasting adult friendships with other volunteers. The number of campers that we can accommodate is directly related to the number of adult volunteers at camp. Each year, Woodland Park Day Camp must turn away a considerable number of eager campers on our wait list because camp is full. Please consider volunteering at camp this year. We know you'll love being at camp!
Registration for volunteers who commit to two to five days (and their campers) is now open and will continue until January 31st, 2024. After that time, the leadership committee will determine, based on the number of volunteers, the number of units/campers we can accommodate. Volunteer registration is available here: www.woodlandparkdaycamp.com/registration
Registration for Program Aides, PATs, and their siblings is also currently open and will remain open. Please register as soon as possible so Thumper will know you are coming to camp! We also cannot guarantee a spot to siblings after general registration has opened. Register via the link below (in 3). General registration will open Saturday February 11th, 2024 and continue until units are full.
Registrations made before these designated times will be declined.
In preparation for day camp registration, please take a few minutes to do the following:
(1) Gather the information you will need for registration, including but not limited to emergency contact information, a list of people who are allowed to pick up your child, any information on your camper's medical conditions that would be relevant to day camp (including allergies and accommodations), Cookie Dough numbers (if you plan to use that for payment), and your camper’s troop number (if applicable). Please note the instructions will be on the registration page if you plan to use Cookie Dough or apply for financial aid for camp.
(2) Verify that all day campers, PAs, PATs, and volunteers are registered as Girl Scouts for the 2023-24 scouting year (http://www.girlscoutsww.org/en/about-girl-scouts/join.html). This is required and we are unable to complete this for you as we have in past years. If you need assistance with this step, please contact Girl Scouts of Western Washington.
(3) Make a note on your calendar to come back to www.woodlandparkdaycamp.com/registration on February 11th at 7am (general registration) to complete your Woodland Park Day Camp registration.
A few other things that we'd like you to know:
Financial Aid is available through GSWW: https://www.girlscoutsww.org/en/members/girl-scouts-families/financial-assistance.html
Volunteers can request a buddy!
GSWW requires that everyone at Day Camp meet the Washington State requirements for school vaccinations.
We hope to see you at camp!
